About Tanya
Tanya Greene is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people manage grief, rebuild self-esteem, and cope with big life changes. She also works with people facing compassion fatigue and offers coaching to help set and reach personal goals. She brings 15 years of practice across many settings.
Those include hospitals, residential programs, court and correctional environments, in-home visits, and clinic work. She has experience supporting people dealing with homelessness, mental health challenges, substance use, and brain injury.
How Tanya works
Her approach starts with understanding each person as an individual. Tanya does not use a one-size-fits-all plan. She asks about what matters most, what feels hard right now, and what the person hopes to change.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer goals. Together the client and Tanya identify actions to try between meetings and track what helps. She emphasizes doable changes that fit the person’s life and values.
She has a particular interest in the strains faced by caregivers and those connected to the armed forces. That interest guides her listening and the types of supports she offers, such as end-of-life conversations and help with survivor guilt or caregiver stress. Tanya speaks English and practices in Minnesota as a LICSW.
Her background across settings gives her a broad view of how people's lives and systems intersect, and she uses that perspective to shape realistic plans people can follow.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Many of Tanya's approaches focus on short-term, goal-oriented work that helps people manage grief, caregiver stress, and life transitions. One common approach is problem-focused counseling, which breaks challenges into smaller parts and builds clear steps to address them. This helps people move through grief tasks or daily burdens in a manageable way. Another approach emphasizes coaching-style guidance to set goals, track progress, and adjust plans when obstacles arise; this is useful for rebuilding confidence and pursuing life purpose.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya will talk about needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s pace and situation. She reviews what’s working and changes course as needed so the plan stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues while still fitting into a busy day. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging give flexible ways to touch base between sessions or to use therapy in real time when dealing with stressors. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to match the format to the moment.
